lio it known that l. liolls .l\'. Soxn, a Citi- -n oi the llnitel-l States. and resident of New York, in the county :unl State of New York, have invented certain new und useful lImprovements in Traveling Cooking Utensils Suitable for Traveling, (Jumpin Automobiling` and llospilal Pin-poses, o which the following is a specitieation,I taken Vin connection with the accompanying drawing.

'lhis inventiou'relates to Vtraveling cooking utensils und u protecting collapsible box for the sume, the parts being when .not in use theyoccupy a comparatively small space, the box inc osing the cooking utensil and serving as a container for the same. "hen in use the parts are extended und the box protects the cooking .utensil and thc lamp from wind and rain.

Fig. 4 is a lo'n itudinal vert-ical section through the box's owing theV parts in their collapsed position, the pans invertedl and shown in side elevation. Fig. li is a vertical section of the cover. tion'of one of the 4 able handle.

The cover 2 has a flange 4 extending :lround 1t on.three sides as lnore clearly up pearsfromFig, 3 und mounted within thiscover are three hinged flaps 5, 8 and rllhe tht i 5 has atlange t extending along'lts two sic es und'is hinved to swingin a verticaliA plane by means o? the hinge 7. Tlufgiide,flap 8' is hinged to the cover 2 b the hinges 10 und llso that it is adapte to swing in a at right angles to -thc The side flap 9 is al'sohin ed tothe cover 2 to swing in a horizontal p une .by similar hinges, such as 12, Fig. 2.V The'arrangement is such that when the box is opened from the closed p sition v tia Fig. 6 ls a yvertical sec-l4 pans showing the detuch- Nof sinne material, .erabl substantially lU-shaped member cross.-

3 the cover 2 is moved on its hinge 13 4until it assumesncurly a vertical position, the tlop 5 is then swung upon its hinge 7 and the si( e flaps 8 hinges until they are made to seat )hind lugs 13, 13, which may be stamped out of the side of the box- 1 or may be riveted or soldered on desire The upper portions of these side flaps are then pressed outward .until the bear against the flanges ti-tof the top ap 5.

and 9 upon their` respctive The construction of the device, so far del scribed, is such that the cover 2, top 5 and side tl: s 8 and 9'will be securely'held -in elevate( position and thereby thorou hly protect the inelosed cooking utensilrom wind and ruin.

, This cooking utensil includes either one or two dishesor pans, two being shown in the drawing, wherein 14 designates one of them used as a water-pan havin a hollow bracket l5, the. other being the disli 16, andi With the cover 17 having the hinged bail 18 all' mounted upon the collapsible stand lpreferably `secured to the bottom of the box 1 either directly or by means of the base plate 22. -I precrnblv muke this stand of two ringsl 20,

. 2l and secure the lower ring 20 firmly upon a Hut ring of iron o1' other suitable metal base 22 Vby means of staples 23 or other suitable means. This ring 22 is preferably made of strong wire, precious or otherwise, und'is itself preferably secured to the bottom of the box Vl preferably by means of bolts 24 and-nuts 25. I preferably secure a To the lower ring 2Q series of substantially:

seau-circular or Ushaped members 26,' made with the legs of each prefmg t ie log of the succeeding preferably su'bstuntially U-shuped member. 'To' 'the upper ring 2l l secure similar semi-circular-U-.

shaped members 27 and 'fasten the'meeting edges of the two substantially U-slmped portions 26 and 2 7 in any suitable manner, such Vas by the clamping surfaces or wire 28,

hilc I have described and preferably use a. substantially Ushaped member`I do not wish lto Vbe limited to this fornuns various changes in the shape of these members can be made without departing from my inven shown m Fig. 4, where it-is' shown collapsed,

and, by extending it into the position showf'n in Figs. 1 and 3, the pans ot the cooking utensil are held at the proper distance from the .lamp 29. While ordinarily this stand will rigidly sup )ort the dishes at the proper elevation, ylI pre erably place lugs 30, 30 upon some arms of the U-sliaped members so that after the upper ring 21 has been, drawn away from thelower ring 2() to its maximum extended position it may be slightly retracted towards its ol'iposingy ring 20 by pressing in towards the center the clamping surfaces 28, 28, so that their position is nearer the center ofthe stand 19 than the vertical plane of the rings 20 :and 21. While thc clamping surfaces 28, 28 are in this position further pressure upon the upper ringl 21 tendsto cause the elements 2S, 28 to iiioi-e still further towards the conter, but this n'ioveinent stopped by the lugs 30, 30 against. which the conipleinciitary preferably U-sliaped nieinber bears and, as this complementarypreferably U-shaped member cannot pass this stop,'the parts are locked in this elevated position. l`he advantage of this .arrangement is'tliat if the ring 21 had been carelessly separated from theA rin 20 so that the portions 28, 28 were situa-te( without tlie'\'ertical plane of the two rings 20 and 2l, pressureof the plates ,and contents upon the upper ring 21 would cause the 'stand to collapse and the pan 1-l.- lie brought. in contact with the flame o1' the lamp 2S) which would extinguish the sonic. lliis lainp"29 is supported on legs 32, 32, which are at one end ri-.ferably riveted by the rivets 3.3 to the p ate or metal base 22 and at their other ends, by the rivets '34 to the ring 35 which Aforms the support for the 'lamp 29, all ot these members formingr a tri- Instead pod for the support'of the lamp. of'securing the members by rivets the :parts :may be otherwise secured in any suitable manner. This lamp is preferably'held Within this ring by means of a thumb screw 36 which isscrewed within the rin 35 sind bea-rs a airist the outside surface o the lamp 29. en not in use the lamp cover 50, Fig.

`- A4, is screwed upon the screws'51.

y y 'When' the support, 19 is in its collapsed' position it snugly fits within the sides of the box -1.vv In the four corners of the box, tlieportion` not occupied bythe supportior the dishes, I referably secureby solder,

f rivets 53 ori-'ot erwise, four receptacles 37, :38,39 and 40, Fig. 2. These receptacles have which is the center of the stand when c'ollapsed as shown in Fig. 4. These receptacles two sides at right angles `t'o conform to th box 1; their inner surface as shown being formed onI the arc of a circle, the center of maycontain any necesssJ adjunct in the use of the cooking utensil; such as bottles f alcohol and milk, and packages of salt and pepper.- As an additional support for therese tecles .3.8, I Secure plates 41,` 41 to the hinged interiorsiiriice-B of the box vthe top 2 of the box 1 as shown in lVhen the pans are in this positionl I prefer:

1 so to permit the ribs 42, 42 of the plates' 41, 41 to rest on top of the receptacles 38, 39

-when the front. portion i'is swung upon its' hinge 43 when the box is closed.

To pack'thc cooking utensil in the position 7d i dish 14, press down the bail 18, remove the removable handle 43, placing it Within the box, and swing the different sideland top' flaps inward so that they are seated a ainst ig. `4.

ably.- support them by means of the supports 52, 52, Figs. 3 and 4, which are secured by any well known means to the interior of the box 1. After the flaps' have been swung uinward the ltop 2 can be swung upon its 35 hinge 13 and be secured to the box 1 by means of the strap 44 and buckle 45or by any other suitable means. The device can then be easily carried by Ineens of the handle 46.

Ordinarily I would make the box of tin which may be ornamented in any suitable way or covered swith leather or, of course, it could be inade out of one of the recious metals so tliatiwhile I have descri invention iii connection with several illustratiye,embodiments thereof, I do not desire to be liniited'toilie details, but
